Romeo and Juliet Assignment Two Comic Strip Representation
Now that you have completed Act I of Romeo and Juliet it is time to rewrite this act in a short (no more than 8 frames) comic strip.
Think carefully about what the reader really needs to know by the end of Act I. Try to use key lines from the story to match the key images but you can add words of your own.
You may use whatever format you wish to in order to produce your comic strip- including drawing it by hand, scanning the document and then uploading. You may also use any of the programs / websites on internet etc. Mr. Koontz has some good ideas.

(3) To what degree was the character responsible for this tragedy?
(4) What should this character have done differently?
